No one will ever supplant "MacT" from that role :accepted:

Even if they were the best of the mediocre teams and clinched a playoff spot and we should be happy, you're still in the playoffs so you should be putting the best product you have on the ice. What sense does it make when you have Horvat who has been one of the best players in the series play fewer minutes than players like Dorsett who was struggling all game.

But then they also lose in the fashion that they do repeatedly. This team who have had their share of catastrophic meltdowns in recent years still manage to find a way to push that bar further down with this series loss and while the Flames were the better team the series was anyone's to take.

So when you have a coaching staff who seems to be resisting at playing the younger guys more there's reason for concern moving forward as to what opportunities guys like Shinkaruk, Jensen, Corrado and co. will have if and when they make the team. Fans have already accepted the fact last year that we'll deal with the growing pains and mistakes of the younger guys if we get to see them more on the ice.
As a side note, BoHo more than likely wouldn't have even been given a chance to play this season under Torts/AV. I like what WD/JB/Linden have done this year. It's a learning process for all three and if we keep trending in this fashion, we'll do alright.

Benning needs to do a better job with contracts. Aside from the Tanev extension, the other contracts (Dorsett, Sbisa especially) have ranged from average to albatross.

I don't want to get into the situation Boston finds themselves in currently.

Also, how is Jordan Subban still unsigned? Tick-tock, 2 months left before he re-enters the draft.

68style 04-26-2015 08:53 AM
^ Maybe cuz he sucks? I haven't been watching him... but I don't think any of us combined are qualified to judge hockey talent more than Benning and I'm sure a detail oriented guy like him is well aware of the contract situations with all the players they currently own the rights to.

2 months is quite a bit of time....

Should be more worried when there's a week/few days left and he's still unsigned

Pens don't have their first. They traded it to Edmonton for Perron

16th - Edmonton (from Pittsburgh)
17th - Jets
23rd - Canucks

Hey that draft at least puts us projected to get Klyington

punkwax 04-26-2015 09:57 AM
Then you click his name the the site suggests he'll go top 10, likely top 5 :lol

lol guy who wrote that:

Profile from: Eldon MacDonald of The Hockey Writers - updated Oct. 19th

looks like Kylington has fallen down the rankings since then

murd0c 04-26-2015 10:42 AM
I'm ok with that!!

Jmac 04-26-2015 11:47 AM
23rd is worst case scenario for us.

The 4 teams that make it to the Conference Finals will get 27-30 (30th to the Stanley Cup Champ, 29th to the runner-up).

If those 4 teams are CGY, MIN, DET/OTT, and NYI/WSH, we'll pick 19th. For each of those teams that doesn't make it to the Conference Finals, we pick 1 spot worse.

So I guess we're cheering for Calgary now :badpokerface:

6o4__boi 04-26-2015 12:25 PM
regardless of the pick, I hope we trade up.
I get the sense that we will and there will be a blockbuster at the draft.

Highly doubt Benning scouted around for no reason. I think he's got every intention to move up and acquire a 2nd and 3rd round pick.

murd0c 04-26-2015 12:41 PM
well the Wild are up 2-0 right now. Blues just put in Elliot

Expresso 04-26-2015 01:19 PM
Did Jake Allen even deserve to be the starter?

Good to know

Apparently the Canucks dropped 4 draft positions because of the win vs Edmonton in the finale :pokerface:

Could've been picking at 18/19 rather than the 23rd they're currently projected at.... :pokerface:

19th with the possibility of picking as high as 17th if CGY and OTT make Conference Finals.

While retaining home-ice advantage in the first round :pokerface:

GG blues... 4-1 with 1 min left.

That's what every single Canucks fan thinks every single draft.

You got to admit, the magic that burke pulled off in 1999 was probably the most exciting draft a canucks fan ever had. We'd have to go on an epic tank buffalo style for something like that to happen again.

EA sports 6 for 8 so far =/

First time it was LA over Boston.

Second try was Anaheim over NYR

2.80x payout..worth a decent bet.
Pretty scary huh? LOL PK with the clutch assist in 19:38 of Period 3 :toot::toot:

Had a HUGE bet on it too
